Yes it will do. Someone else will tell you the exact oposite it's up to you. If you are really worried bring it back and change it. What oil do you usually use? JJH

Perfectly good and the 10W bit is better for Winter than a 20W/wotevva

Isn't there a theory that 40w will kill your mains after 30K miles. I'm not saying it;s right, it's just what I was told. hence I use only 50w.
